Answer:

D. Obese children find that maintaining a healthy body composition is easier as an adult because their metabolism naturally increases.

Explanation:

Obesity is no longer just an aesthetic problem, which is annoying because of the "mocking" of colleagues. Being overweight can lead to various health problems such as diabetes, heart problems and skeletal malformation. About 15% of children and 8% of adolescents suffer from obesity problems, and eight out of ten adolescents remain obese in adulthood.

Children usually gain weight easily due to factors such as: wrong eating habits, genetic inclination, sedentary lifestyle, psychological disorders, problems with family life, among others.

The mistake of many parents and children in not taking steps to reduce childhood obesity is because they think maintaining a healthy body composition is easier as an adult, because adult metabolism naturally increases. However, metabolism increases with physical activity, whether adult or child.

The answer is D.

As children grow older and go into adulthood, their metabolism actually slows down. The older you are the slower your metabolism becomes. Obese children can find it extremely hard to have a healthy body composition as an adult.

The center of gravity does not contribute to individual stability true or false
lawyer [7]
<span>The answer is false because the center of gravity contributes greatly to the individual stability of a person or thing. The center of gravity is the center of mass of an object and therefore by raising or lowering that point, of gravity, you can cause an object or person to lose stability very quickly.</span>
